For some reason, I like Cerise. But I'm sure it will be constantly misspelled, and it makes me think of Silence of the Lambs.. even though that was CLarise. :P I think the worst one might be Tawny Perls... sounds like a porn star name.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of Hazel, Marigold, Violet, and Poppy (and of course Rose). Poppy Pearls sounds like Betty Boop, though. But you could always hyphenate with Bonnes and then it could work. I love the idea of a color name for your baby- makes sense.
ReplyDeletei found another list with crayon names- i'll post that next!
ReplyDeleteLisa- Tawny Perls does sound like a porn star- too funny
Sooz- i love Poppy and various other "P" names,but with Perls,just too sing-song. but true,the hyphenation would solve that
What a brilliant idea to name her a color!!! I love it. Some of my favorites were Hazel, Indigo, Jade, Violet, Scarlet, Teal. Can't wait to go over it all with you when you get to Kauai. :)
